I've seen the rod holder filled up a bunch of times. Also some water tanks filled as well.
Worst one was a guy who actually realized what he did. He put the boat on the trailer at the ramp and pulled it up so he could then walk to the transom and pull the plug to drain it. He tried to get away. Bad Idea in a gated community with only two non nautical exits.
I also know a guy who had the fill hose fall off while taking on fuel. Clamps had broken. All of it is scary shit cause stuff like that can can go bad in hurry.
All of the times I saw it the guilty party was in a hurry or severely distracted. Except the fill hose guy. He was just guilty of not checking something on a lot of boats you can't really see anyway a lot of times.
